Blithe Spirit

The lovely Lauren Buglioli is absolutely stunning as Elvira. She looks like a 1930's movie star, not far removed from blonde bombshell Jean Harlow…. I have seen Ms. Buglioli onstage since her turn as Sally Bowles in Mad Theatre's Cabaret two years ago, heralding the arrival of a major talent to our area. Since then, she has graced local stages in everything from Gnit to The Producers, from The Great Gatsby toDisaster: The Musical. And she has never disappointed. BLITHE SPIRIT is her final local bow before she relocates to Atlanta next week and hopefully continues to grace the stages there. Our loss is their theatre community's major gain.- Peter Nason, Broadway World

As for Buglioli, I saw her almost two years ago when she made for one of the finest Sally Bowles in Cabaret I have ever seen. Strong work in The Great Gatsby was followed by her extraordinarily hilarious turn as a daffy nun in Disaster: The Musical. She's just as good here, another standout performance, with her Solvay exuding loveliness. In other roles, her bartender was particularly memorable. In another part, donning black, she looks like a character straight out of La Dolce Vita. And her auctioneer had me laughing out loud. - Peter Nason, Broadway World

Cabaret

CABARET [M.A.D. Theatre of Tampa]

As the Kit Kat Club star, British Sally Bowles, Lauren Buglioli was nothing short of a revelation. It's a gloriously rendered part, full of depth and passion, and yet she's also appropriately annoying, selfish, and oddly optimistic (to hide her underlying despair). It was a star turn, and Buglioli brilliantly introduced herself into our theatre community. - Broadway World
